Hippopotamus Right Tibia and Fibula

Description

This is the right lower leg, comprised of the tibia and fibula, of a juvenile hippopotamus (*Hippopotamus amphibius*) skeleton given to the Lapworth Museum by Russell Coope. It is robust and has large muscle attachment points to support the substantial weight of the hippo. This specimen was digitised by Jack Mayer Wood using photogrammetry, and is part of a collection of bones from this individual hippo that have been digitised.
